New Facebook News Feed unveiled!

Today Facebook has unveiled a new look for your News Feed that will start rolling out over the next few weeks. It was largely based on mobile use. Some new features include larger pictures and videos, new subfeeds, and a much more simple and organized look. More info and pictures just past the break...




Facebook said the following in a blog post:

“Today we’re announcing a new version of Facebook designed to reduce clutter and focus more on stories from the people you care about. You see all the stories you saw in your News Feed before, but with a fresh new look. We’ve completely rebuilt each story to be much more vibrant and colorful and highlight the content that your friends are sharing. Photos, news articles, maps and events all look brighter and more beautiful.”

The "subfeeds" I mentioned earlier are smaller feeds within your news feed to organize what you see. There are four subfeeds:

All Friends – a feed that shows you everything your friends are sharing

Photos – a feed with nothing but photos from your friends and the Pages you like

Music – a feed with posts about the music you listen to

Following – a feed with the latest news from the Pages you like and the people you follow.


Like I said when they first sent out the invites, people seem to hate anything Facebook does, so maybe that's why they're rolling it out “slowly, and carefully".

"Expect to see the new News Feed in your iPhone and iPad apps within the next month. But for those of you who just can’t wait, you can sign up for the wait list by clicking the link below to get a shot at trying the new feature before it becomes available."
